- Notes: Very close Norris race this year. Karlsson very narrowly beats out Weber with Karlsson's historic season in tow. Dan Girardi was the only other players not in the top-3 to get first place votes (2). Pietrangelo, Lidstrom, Girardi, Campbell and Suter finished ahead of Letang, who had an abbreviated season. Hamhuis, McDonagh and Del Zotto finished immediately below Letang.

- Notes: Shero gets a single third place vote along with Lou Lamiorello. Lamoriello petitioned the league to have Shero's third place vote and was awarded it. Holmgren received 0 first place votes and finished 5th despite playing Be-a-GM mode on NHL 12 for much of the year.

- Notes: In the best defensive player award (who scores 60 or more points), Jordan Staal received a fair amount of love, received a 0-1-6-7-9 card, just behind Jonthan Toews and Mike Fisher and just ahead of Anze Kopitar, Patrick Sharp and Joe Pavelski. Dupuis had the second lowest vote total among players with a first place vote (Talbot, one 1st place, one 4th place). Dupuis also received two votes for 3rd, 4th and 5th, respectively. He placed just behind Ray Whitney (WTF, he's never played defense in his life...) and Joe Pavelski and just ahead of Ryan O'Reilly (what a miss by the voters to leave this gem out of the votes) and Turtleneck Plek...

- Notes: Brian Campbell logs the most ice time in the league and takes three minor penalties on defense! And one of them was for delay of game...incredible. Loui Eriksson also had a strong showing (since he was ignored in the Selke voting for some reason). Claude Giroux finished 10th.

- Notes: GM-voted award, so few ballots. Lundqvist captured 17 of 30 (same as Thomas last year, IIRC) but appeared on all 30 ballots (unlike Thomas last year, who only made 26). Brian Elliott (1st place), Jaroslav Halak (2nd place), Marc-Andre Fleury (3rd place) and Miikka Kiprusoff (3rd place) each rec'd one vote to round out the voting.

- Notes: A blow-out of historic proportions for Evgeni Malkin. A near-unaminous choice for the trophy capturing 144 of 149 first place votes! Jonathan Quick was the only other not-listed player to receive a first place vote. Claude Giroux finished 4th. Spezza, Rinne, Karlsson, H.Sedin and Kovalchuk round out the top-10. LOL @ Brian Elliott (15th), Ray Whitney (16th), Radim Vrbata (20th) and James Neal (22nd). If you don't know, just don't vote.

That's right. Neal was a second place vote away from being a first-team all-star at right wing and a second-team all-star at left wing! Impressive job by the media there. And this was after a re-vote because the first time they got the positions even more mixed up! Giroux was a "third" team all-star at both center and right wing. He played center all season long.
